System and method for toggle interface
View Patent ↗A method for providing a toggle interface on an electronic personal display is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes receiving a request to enter a toggle mode from a user, determining a first e-book content associated with the user, determining a second e-book content associated with the first e-book content; and directing the electronic personal display to open said second e-book content when initiating the toggle mode.
1. A method for providing an interface on an electronic personal display, said method comprising:
simultaneously displaying a first e-book having first content in a first screen portion of the interface and a second e-book having second content in a second screen portion of the interface, wherein the first content of the first e-book is different from the second content of the second e-book;
receiving a first input that marks a first portion in the first content of the first e-book;
receiving a second input that links the first portion with a second portion in the second content of the second e-book;
establishing an association between the first portion in the first content with the second portion in the second content;
generating a visual indicator at the second portion indicating the association between the first portion and the second portion;
detecting a user gesture moving the first content from the first screen portion of the interface to the second screen portion of the interface;
automatically relocating the first content from the first screen portion of the interface to the second screen portion of the interface; and
automatically relocating the second content from the second screen portion of the interface to the first screen portion of the interface.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting a user input accessing the first portion in the first content; and
automatically displaying the second portion in the second content.
3. An electronic reader comprising:
a touch screen display including integrated touch sensors;
a memory configured to store e-book content; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
simultaneously display on the touch screen display a first e-book having first content in a first screen portion of an interface and a second e-book having second content in a second screen portion of the interface, wherein the first content of the first e-book is different from the second content of the second e-book;
receive, via the touch screen display, a first input that marks a first portion in the first content of the first e-book;
receive, via the touch screen display, a second input that links the first portion with a second portion in the second content of the second e-book;
establish an association between the first portion in the first content with the second portion in the second content;
generate a visual indicator at the second portion indicating the association between the first portion and the second portion;
detect a user gesture moving the first content from the first screen portion of the interface to the second screen portion of the interface;
automatically relocate the first content from the first screen portion of the interface to the second screen portion of the interface; and
automatically relocate the second content from the second screen portion of the interface to the first screen portion of the interface.
4. The electronic reader of claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
detect a user input accessing the first portion in the first content; and
automatically displaying the second portion in the second content.
